Default A few pics before the wheel change...

I am changing wheels this week (hopefully!) and wanted to take some pics of the car with the stock ones, you know, to document the changes. I was also missing in-motion shots so I recruited a friend and set off to take the pics (I needed someone to move my car so I could take the in-motion pics). Here's some of what I got:

I like it, what wheels are you going with. Also, this is a newb question but what tail lights are those, are they the fairladys?

Thanks bleu... I am going joining the Volk crowd with TE37 Time Attacks on 19", like these ones (actually these ones - thanks to www.injectedperformance.com for the pic, and for a great deal on the wheels):

The clear led tailights are the JDM '06 version for the Fairlady Z... got them from www.courtesyparts.com and several other vendors carry them; installed in less than 10 minutes by a mechanically impaired guy like me , just have to shave some plastic from the connectors so they fit in the socket and that's it!

That is one of the hottest stock looking Z's I have seen! The JDM tails look great on the redline...

You have brembo's on a touring model?

, Yeah, for a few weeks it will be the classic "drop that b****h" line I am looking into it... no more than 1" though, my roads disallow anything more aggressive than this! So I will just probably do some Tanabe GF210's and replace the sways with something slightly stiffer (Hotchkis sounds like it right now... we will see)

Thanks for the compliment, very appreciated! In my country (Costa Rica) this is what is sold as the 'Track' model... it is the only version available and combines Touring and Track trims: it comes with Leather, Bose, Brembos, cruise control and the such... actually a great package.

Best Regards!

Here are a couple of the engine bay after I got the CF covers:


Now looking into a polished plenum or maybe even an SSV... but that will have to wait for a while

Thanks for looking!
